One violation, but one at USC, too?

The Huskies have reported the violation of a secondary nature to the Pac-10 after compliance director John Morris’ in-house investigation did reveal that by renting a fog machine and playing the siren as recruits came out of the tunnel did, in fact, cross the line of the “game-day simulation” rule.

But, could it be that new Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian was simply doing what he has been doing at USC?

OK, that might be going from Point A to Point D, but check this out: According to a Monday post on Greg Biggins’ ESPN.com recruiting blog, the USC staff did bring out the personalized jerseys for this week’s visitors.

According to San Francisco’s Sacred Heart Cathedral defensive end Kevin Greene, that was one of the things that impressed him so much.

“The coolest part about the visit was going to the Coliseum. They had jerseys with our names on it and it was just a very cool experience there,” Greene told Biggins.

Greene orally committed to USC.

“If they personalized a jersey and put a prospect’s name on it, that would be a violation,” Morris said. “I will point out, however, that the reporter involved in our case quoted one of the prospects as saying there were personalized jerseys here — and that was not true.”

Morris said he spoke with Sarkisian and the coach was remorseful and did not know the simulation was a violation.
